Back inside and up a half-level is a street-side guest bedroom with a full bath, and just above that, the main entertaining space unfolds. The updated kitchen boasts shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a beautiful center island, and upgraded appliances. The dining area and living room are accented by wainscoting and designer furnishings, with the living room centered around a gas fireplace and oversized sectional—ideal for family movie nights with a view.
